Look, if there's one thing Bruce Wayne is good at it's standing in dramatic poses with appropriate scenery.checkplease posted:I do like that about BvS. Gotham appears to be full of run down and abandoned areas despite years of him punching criminals. BvS Gotham is literally just New Jersey iirc.

Randomly watched the Batman rescues Martha scene and goddamn does it kick rear end. I can’t believe we’re not going to get an entire movie of that.

That final encounter with KGBeast rules "Drop it... I SAID DROP IT! I'll kill her! BELIEVE ME, I'LL DO IT!" "I believe you." *boom* It's so good. Batfleck loving owns so hard, and he's definitely my favorite live action version. To keep the Snyderverse living, I use that skin when playing Arkham Knight. It just feels right given the brutality of combat.

In the middle of his operatic take on the fall and redemption of Batman, Snyder finds time for the Batman fight scene every one had in their head as a child.

ZS understands something that too few filmmakers understand. Violence is terrible, and frightening, and occasionally really loving cool.

It also owns that people don't just line up to fight him, but you also have goons who hesitate because they see how badly their buddies just got hosed up.

Can’t decide if my favorite KO is the dude he drive-by headfirst in to a crate, the dude he domes in the head with said crate moments later, or the guy he picks up and throws through a wall.

The one he plants through the floor was just bruuuuutal. Great sound work in there, too.

And the tension and brutality is absolutely fitting given the whole deal is that this is Bruce getting a do-over of Crime Alley. Am reminded of No Way Home doing something similar, and clunky like that movie tends to be but still imo pretty great, with Garfield Spidey rescuing MCU MJ from dying the way his Gwen Stacy did.

Just a reminder that BvS's Batman gives an opportunity to surrender. It's true he annihilates fools in that car chase but he starts it by revving his engine and looking cool. If any of those guys had run out of their cars with their hands up or just pulled over and hit their hazards they would have been ok. His MO is very much escalation.

You seem them being stretchered out, not in body bags.

You think companies sell special Batman insurance. when he breaks lots of your bone don’t worry still covered, no deductible needed. Maybe just proof of a brand.

He's making the comic books come to life, and he's doing it while making these complex, high operatic movies that lovingly draw on the source while referring to art and mythology. He is the best, and I will never forgive WB for robbing the world of seeing his DC Cycle come to a close.

Alexander Hamilton posted:Bad guys begging to get branded so they don’t go bankrupt paying their hospital bills In the Marvel comics people can buy Hulk Insurance as a separate thing for their home/etc. so I assume there's something like that in DC too, though I doubt any company would cover damages that are found to fall under the category of acts of Zod.

They looks like comic books splash pages, yes, but as if the comic books were adaptations of movies. It's honestly quite jarring, at least for me.

In all seriousness, I get it if you don't like someone's style. I hate Wes Anderson's style. The settings are pretty and usually colorful, but everything around them feels lifeless and depressing (usually due to the story). I'm depressed in real life, so I don't go to movies to experience what I already do every day of my life. It's my own personal reaction and subjective opinion about Anderson's films. It's okay to not like something. It's just that your explanation was really weird and kind of funny.
